Frequently Asked Questions
Does this make the file size smaller?
Usually, yes. By removing color information, the file size can decrease. However, for PDFs that are mostly text, the size might stay similar as we convert pages to optimized images to ensure grayscale compatibility.
Is the text still selectable?
To guarantee a perfect "Black & White" look across all devices (without server-side tools), this tool flattens pages into grayscale images. This means text will not be selectable in the output file.
